I got my upper back today after sending it in for service. BCM stood behind their product 100% and changed the barrel. They even threw in a new hat!
This barrel looks a little different than the original. It is black instead of grayish like the original and the markings are stamped differently.
I’m sure this one will be a shooter. I cant wait to take it out on Friday to test it out. So thanks to Paul and all the great guys at BCM for taking care of me!
Congrats. Is this the mystery package that on a road trip with UPS from the other thread?
Yes it finally showed up. I didn’t know if I should have hugged or punched the UPS guy when he got here. So I just signed instead.:laugh:
It is usually not the driver that you see’s fault.
Thats why I signed and said thank you. 
Glad it all worked out. Personally I had no doubt that BCM would take care of you, that’s just how they are and why they have the following they do. They back their products to the hilt.
